Smart Labs for Smarter Science

The Internet of Things already lets you warm up your house before you arrive and control your speakers from your wrist. What will become possible when that technology enters the laboratory, untethering scientists from the rote aspects of research? We talk to scientists and industry leaders bringing connectivity to the lab, and an investment expert who explains how this kind of automation could revolutionize individualized medicine. This is The Future According to Now, a podcast from Atlantic Re:think, the branded content studio at The Atlantic, and Fidelity Investments, with production support from At Will Media.
